HOW TO GET TO THE DEVIL'S CAULDRON

First, you need to get to the town of Baños, located in eastern Ecuador on the edge of the Amazon Rainforest. The best way to get to this scenic town from other places in the country is to take an Ecuador Hop bus. Our hop on, hop off service helps you safely travel throughout the country and see some real hidden gems along the way. With Ecuador Hop, you’ll experience the best of the real Ecuador including many unique free stops, all on your own flexible schedule.

Once in Baños, its a 30-minute trek from the town to the Pastaza River.

DEVIL'S CAULDRON SAFETY TIPS

  • Make sure to use mosquito repellent. While the Devil’s Cauldron is not located in a malarial area, there have been rare cases of yellow fever reported. Aside from that, it’s just good practice to protect yourself against mosquitos so that you’re not covered with itchy and uncomfortable bug bites.
  • Wear sunscreen every day. Even when you don’t feel like you’re getting burned, the equatorial latitude and relatively high altitude of Baños can do a lot of damage to your skin.
  • Baños is a pretty safe town and petty crime is rare, but it’s still a good idea to avoid carrying too much cash on you.
  • Don’t flash valuables like expensive cell phones or jewelry in public.
